in view, the present invention consists of the pecularities ofconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts more fully described,and set forth in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an elevational view of the display cabinet looking at thesame either from the front or rear, 7

Figure 2 is a side elevational View thereof,

Figure 3 is a horizontal transverse sectional view taken substantiallyon the line 3-3 and looking downwardly in the direction of the arrows,

Figure 4 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view therethrough,

Figure 5 represents a vertical detail sectional view through a portionof the cabinet showing the display compartments illuminating meanstherefor.

Figure 6 represents a fragmentary corner elevation of the cabinet at theupper portion of the cabinet.

Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the invention includes abase 5 a pair of perpendicular side walls 6-6 and a top 7.

' A pair of partitions 8 and 9 separate the cabinet into three mainsections. In the sections below the partition 9 is a vertical partition10 dividing said section into a front and rear compartment. In thesection above the partition 9 are the vertical walls 11-1l extend inparallelism to the side walls 6.

A partition 12 connects the said vertical walls 11 and divides the saidsection into a front and rear compartment. The section above thepartition 8 provided with a pair of vertical walls 1313 and a verticalpartition 14 connecting the said vertical walls 13 13 beside the lastreferred to section into front and rear compartments.

In the compartments-oneach side ofthe partition 10 are horizontalshelves 15 connecting the side walls 6. Between thepar-titions 8 and 9are shelves 1'6 connecting the vertical walls 11*11 on opposite sidesofthe partition 1% In the sections between the partition8 and top 7 andarranged on opposite sides (of the partition 14 are shelves 1'6connecting the vertical walls 13.- Thus it willbe seen that at the frontand rear thereof the cabinet is in duplicate;

Each of the side walls 6 above the p artit ion 9, and above and belowthe partition Sare provided with transversely, extend'ingopen ings 1'8=a'nd 1-9 respectively.- The side walls 66 at each end :of theopenings18 and '19 are provided with vertically extending slots 20andinsertable through thes'lots for .c'losing the openings aretransparent panels 21. A ,i The space between the panels 21 and adjacentvertical walls respectively provide above and below the partition 8display com-part ments which :are mounted hosiery covered limbs. llhepanels 21 and respective adja cent vertical walls 11 and T3 constitutingside uppermost shelves 16 are drawers "23. Ob-

viously, the drawers 23 may be :used forcontaini-ng VfiL'IlOllSjPELPGISrelativeto the stock ar ranged in 'thecabinet, the nature and amount ofsale,- etc.

From the foregoing then it will be appreciated that I have evolvedahosiery display cabinet wherein the several compartments of thecabinet-are easily accessible, the hosiery advantageously displayed, andat thesame time the cabinet being fully capable of such constructionas-to provide only ausefulibutate tractive article of store furniture.

Arranged 'in each of the .upperand lower display compartmentsadjacent-the ,panc1s'2l,

and at the ;upper forward and .rearxends-of f to said compartment aresuitably mounted electric light bulbs 24 with which are associatedsuitable reflectors 25. Suitable electrical connections are provided forsupplying current to the bulbs one of the electrical connections 27being arranged in the base 5, and the other electrical connection 28being mounted on the top 7. Thus is provided suitable illumination foreach of the display compartments for more efiectively displaying thehosiery arranged therein. w

It may be also noted, that the side Walls 66 having the lower portionsthereof dis posed between the base 5 and partition 9 suitably panelledas at 29, the panels 29 being preferably of wood.

Even though I have herein shown and deslotted corner post at a corner ofeach display compartment and through which one of the I glass panels mayslide laterally to permit access to the compartment.

- In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
